Chapter 564: The Emergence of Confucianism
Through a conversation with Zhang Haotian and reflection on his own cultivation, Confucius (Hanzhen) has never been so confident in the path to holiness.
Maybe it's this confidence, maybe it's the abundance of aura in heaven and earth, Zhang Haotian's mana is increasing day by day, when he cultivates, the place where he is will show a mana hollow existence, forming a mana funnel, and a large amount of aura directly enters his body.
Under the leadership of Confucius, disciples including Yan Hui, Zilu, Zigong, and Zime also seized this rare opportunity to cultivate Haoran righteousness and Cangjie ancient characters.
Especially Yan Hui, originally he was only highly educated, and he was actually inferior to Zigong, Zilu and others in terms of language, diplomacy, force, economic strategy, country and economy.
However, in terms of cultivating Haoran righteousness and Cangjie ancient characters, Yan Hui's talent is extremely high, and his cultivation is extremely fast, and his accumulation speed of Haoran righteousness is not much faster than Confucius.
In terms of exploration of Cangjie ancient characters, Yan Hui is also unsurpassed, he can already sing more than 100 words, and can say 20 words of Cangjie ancient characters in an instant.
And ordinary disciples can only chant one or two words, and those with higher qualifications also need to chant to be able to chant four or five words, and most of the disciples who can say Cangjie ancient characters in an instant are disciples who studied earlier and have higher talent following Confucius, such as Zilu and Zime.
It can be said that the cultivation of Haoran righteousness and Cangjie ancient characters is a special exercise created by the human race.
They are not like other exercises, which have high requirements for the qualifications and physique of the practitioners, and as long as they are human races, they can generally be cultivated.
With the increasing improvement of cultivation, Yan Hui's state is getting better and better, and both the realm and the spirit and spirit have reached a very perfect state.
Yan Hui was extremely respectful and unspeakably unhappy with Confucius. As the cultivation realm increased, Yan Hui respected Confucius more and more, and he said: "Without Mr., there would be no Yan Hui today; ”
Confucius also had a special preference for Yan Hui, praising Yan Hui as "virtuous and virtuous", "Hui also, his heart is not violated and benevolent".
Yan Hui has the deepest understanding of the ancient character of Cangjie, and as soon as the word benevolence is said, the war and war will stop.
In the later foreign war of the Lu State, Yan Hui led 5 Confucian disciples to issue the word "benevolence", and suddenly the enemies of the entire battlefield laid down their weapons, wept bitterly, and surrendered the enemy's soldiers without a fight.
Since the last time Zigong received the reward from Confucius, he has given up other things and concentrated on studying Haoran righteousness and Cangjie ancient characters.
I have to say that Zigong's talent is also excellent, but the reason why Zigong did not achieve such achievements as Yan Hui is that he was born in a businessman and has a smart mind.
Zigong can be extremely talented in "debate" and "speech" of Cangjie ancient characters, but it is difficult to reach the level of Yan Hui's deep study of Cangjie ancient characters and the accumulation of Haoran righteousness.
But in the same way, in terms of dealing with specific affairs, it is difficult for 100 Yan Hui to achieve the effect of Zigong's original storage and chaos.
This is just a specialization in the art industry, and it is also the idea advocated by Confucius.
Confucius once said: "The sage of Yan Hui, the life of Zigong, and the courage of Zilu are all capable and self-contained." ”
On this day, Confucius, Yan Hui, Zilu, Zigong, Yan Yan, Zeng Dian, Zeng Shen, Duanmu Ci, Min Ziqian, Ran Boniu and a group of disciples gathered in Xingtan, the place where Confucius gave lectures to his disciples.
Everyone sat cross-legged and was debating something with each other, which was also the main way for Confucius's disciples to communicate wisely.
In the debate, everyone continued to grow their knowledge and deepen their understanding of the truth, especially the understanding of the ancient characters of Cangjie is the essence of the frequent debate.
This time, they have a different understanding of the "door", some say that the door represents the way and know-how, some say that the door represents the shape, some say that the door represents the sect or the sect of academic thought, and some say that the door represents the entrance......
Everyone expressed their opinions, and finally everyone looked at Confucius and said in unison: "Please solve your doubts, sir." ”
Confucius didn't say anything at first, but stood up, walked to a gate in the apricot altar, opened the gate, and closed it again.
Then, Confucius asked the disciples, "Go and open the gate for yourself." ”
Each disciple opened and closed the door, and even some people like Zigong walked out of the gate and sat back in their place thoughtfully, as if they had realized something for a while.
Doors naturally have different understandings of different people, and their origins, experiences, and realms are different, and their natural insights are also different.
It's like when we see a puppy like Teddy, who is nothing more than a little playmate, but to an ant, Teddy is a behemoth.
In the end, Confucius didn't say anything.
The so-called master leads the door, and the practice is in the individual. The role of the master is nothing more than to impart basic knowledge, such as Confucius, who can only teach his disciples how to cultivate Haoran righteousness and how to understand the ancient characters of Cangjie.
The extent to which the disciples can cultivate and what realms they can realize is not something he can control.
When he saw that all the disciples had their own gains, Confucius was also very pleased.
As a master, what you are most happy about is that what you teach can be accepted and understood by your disciples, and this kind of spiritual communication and interaction is more precious than anything else, and it can also make you truly happy.
At this time, Zigong stood up and said to Confucius: "Sir, just now the disciple was thinking about the door, and there happened to be a matter for Mr. to decide. ”
Confucius smiled and said, "As far as you think a lot, tell me, what do you think of?"
Zigong said with a smile: "Sir, you see that there are more and more disciples in this apricot altar, and everyone's cultivation is already on the right track. I was thinking before, when we walked through this door, we would all be under Mr. to listen to the lectures and practice, and when we walked out of this door, we were also Mr. disciples, and no matter what, we all had the label of 'Sir' on the top of our heads. ”
Zigong glanced at Confucius and said cautiously: "But after all, there are still some unjustified names, why don't we set up a sect to make the common label of Mr.'s disciples more justified?"
Zi Lu said: "There are sects of cultivators, and we are now considered cultivators, of course there should also be a sect, Zigong is right." ”
Yan Hui also echoed: "Yes, sir, what Zigong said is very reasonable, although you are the lord of the Lu country, we prefer to call you Mr. and carry forward our doctrine." ”
Seeing everyone's eager gaze, Confucius was not easy to refute.
In fact, Confucius did not want to establish any sect, but must establish a sect, and he would be the ancestor of a sect, so he would have to bear the cause and effect of the sect's inheritance and the cause and effect of many disciples.
And Confucius himself is the god of Haotian, and he will return to the Yuqing Palace in the future, and he said in his heart: "What is the whole sect in Nanbu Continent?"
At this time, Zhang Haotian, who had been paying attention to Confucius, said with a smile: "Do you think that the cause and effect of the heavenly court is small? You are now a lot of lice and debts, not to mention maybe it will make you a true saint!"
Hearing Zhang Haotian approve of this matter, Confucius thought about it, the cause and effect of the heavenly court, and even the cause and effect of the entire Xuanhuang world in the future, will be implicated in him, what is this little cause and effect, so he said: "It's okay to do this, but what kind of sect is it called?"
Yan replied: "How is Confucianism?"
Zigong asked, "Senior Brother Yan Hui, what is the understanding of Confucianism?"
